Ever hear of a woman named Renate Schroeder Dolphin? Probably not. According to the NY Times, however, Dolphin was the target of a vicious boast in the high school yearbook of Bret Kavanaugh and 13 of his classmates. MSNBC summed it up this way: Kavanaugh and his friends used the yearbook to call Dolphin a slut.
All this stems from a cryptic note in Kavanaugh's high school yearbook which says only "Renate Alumnius". That same note appears in 13 other bios in the yearbook. Renate Schroeder was part of a circle of friends which included these 14 boys.
So that leads to the first question: what does Renate Alumnius mean? The Times reports that the boys are bragging that they had slept with Renate. Really? The source for the claim is a highly anti-Trump classmate who is a Democrat state senator in Maryland. He, however, never slept with Renate; he's gay. When asked about the note, the 14 men who had the note in their yearbook said it had no sexual connotation. Renate Schroeder was a social leader of their group of friends; that was all. Everyone of these men said they never slept with Renate in high school or thereafter, a fact that the Times omitted. I guess the reporters couldn't put the basic denial of their entire story into the article.
And what does Renate Schroeder Dolphin say? She sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee supporting the nomination of Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and praising him as a fine man. Got that? The supposed victim has no complaint about the yearbook entry. She has no thought that these boys "shamed" her 36 years ago. She knew what they were talking about, and the speculation from the Democrat activist state senator is wrong. And by the way, this is another thing that the Times left out of its story.
Let's just file this one under Fake News.
